“The United States attorney in South Carolina was a Barack Obama appoin...” — Trey Gowdy Quote

The United States attorney in South Carolina was a Barack Obama appointee. Politically, he is to the left of Mao Zedong.

I don't think the president had anything to do with Fast and Furious. I'm not sure Eric Holder did, which leads to a conversation about whether he should have known about it.

I suspect that with men like General Petraeus, where honor means something - losing your life is secondary to losing your honor.

If you were summoned for jury duty and you didn't show up, what would happen? You'd be in jail!

The longer you remain silent, the longer you don't turn over documents, a presumption begins to build that you're withholding something. That's human nature. That may not be a legal presumption, but that's a common sense presumption.

You don't lie to your own doctor. You don't lie to your own attorney, and you don't lie to your employees.

If I am going to pick and choose the laws I defend, I wouldn't be doing my duty as attorney general.

The attorney general would call at 5 o'clock in the evening and say: 'Tomorrow morning we are going to try to integrate the University of Mississippi. Get us a memo on what we're likely to do, and what we can do if the governor sends the National Guard there.'

Before I was a prosecutor, I was a defense attorney. I took a cut in pay because I wanted to stand up for the victims.
